Read the other bad reviews on the tea service -my exact same experience. For the price, I didn’t expect a tea bag vs loose leaf tea; the bread seemed stale (or maybe that was intentional?) and the sandwiches had the bare minimum of ingredients spread in them. The lobster rolls were good and plentiful though. I did not care for the scones and lack of variety presented on the plate. The hotel and the dining room are severely worn and outdated and have a chemical cleaner smell. It’s a shame this property isn’t upgraded because it’s quite quaint. Our server was as nice as could be but didn’t know a lot of the ingredients, which for me is not good since I’m allergic to nuts. Spend the extra $40 and go to another high/afternoon tea.

If you have any experience with afternoon tea, I strongly recommend against the one at the Henley Park. $70 per person is a real splurge for afternoon tea so I had high expectations. It was a bad sign when the pot of tea was plunked down with a tea bag hanging out of it (rather than loose leaf). The server could not advise on how long each tea should be steeped, and no plates were provided for the tea bags. The scones were perfect: tall, warm, crispy outside, and fluffy inside. And the lemon curd was divine. That was the end of the bliss. The sandwiches were dry; they included ungainly lobster rolls ?! The sweets were pretty and generous; the macarons and chocolates were delicious but the server was not able to tell us what any of the desserts were. We were just left to taste and guess. Really not an acceptable experience for an afternoon tea of any price and especially not for one at that price. The hotel is not one I would visit again.
